Kiwidoug Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 A nameless, cowardly, sectarian Celtic sportsperson said......... One thing which tempers their vile sectarian chanting is dishing out a 4-0 thrashing. We all learned that not too long ago. I just hope our entire support takes the high ground on 25th May.

Cruyff Turn Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 1 hour ago, OTT said: From a pathetic and classless club. They have no interest in making any positive change in Scottish football. About time the media actually sacked up and questioned them on this. They are certainly very insular, quick to deflect and sweep their problems under the carpet, as per. The first sentence is bang on. Then they should have said, “if this sort of behaviour continues, we will have no other option but to take action against our supporters who are damaging the club, it’s reputation and Scottish Football.” End of statement. Instead of, “they done it too” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 This will never change with them. They use the victim card mercilessly. They need this sense of being downtrodden. It's all part of their club ethos and is essential for their financial well being. The other arse cheek on the other side of Glasgow play exactly the same game. Nothing will change until the authorities waken up and start dealing with them robustly. This statement actually shows just how unwilling they are to face up to the problem of sectarianism that is deeply imbedded in Celtic. It's there in their club - the lot of them steeped in it from top to bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Celtic fans saying Aberdeen were being racist to the black players and telling them to go home. ? Famine song is deemed racist so could that last line be on similar lines? I've no qualms with Celtic's Irishness. Just as I wouldn't be if a set of Scottish immigrants / ex pats set up a Scottish club overseas. Singing pro terrorists songs, IRA and PIRA,bigoted songs, calling themselves brigades with innuendo to the IRA while all along their administrators play the token tick box minimal guidelines when as yesterday's statement proved know which side their cash comes from, is a different matter completely. As an edit - we need to take the cash hit by giving Rangers and Celtic one section each until there are tangible efforts seen by their custodians.

I can walk through an airport in Scotland, or a shopping centre and identify the religion of people with the same ease as if they were wearing a Hijab or a Turban. - though I cannot do that if they are in a Dundee top, an Aberdeen top, a St Mirren top and so on.

Sub4TiddlerMurray Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 12 hours ago, bean counter said: To be honest I don't think many are surprised by the statement although many will be disappointed. Celtic have deliberately avoided calling it sectarian singing the use of "Chants of this nature" shows they are scared of upsetting their own supporters which makes them really weak. The more interesting part for me was the McInnes comment that at least the sectarian singing was going into the match delegates report it usually does not. I have always wanted to know how many times it is reported it should be every week every time it happens. If the match delegates are not reporting it why not have they been instructed or do they think it is acceptable This with bells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
